How about a Cummins 4BT? They are simple and are non-computer controlled (although there are some I heard). Not sure if you can get an adapter for the stock transmission or you have to get another transmission/transfer case though.

Took the trail gear 3" rear springs out and swapped them with 63" Chevys. What big difference. It rides way better and it flexes 10x better.
